This literally came to me in a dream.... the "Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready to love" part....

I woke up middle of the night in the Bahamas singing that exact melody. There was no tune for it until a month or so later when Paul started playing what you hear today. This doesn't make me "a-helluva-guy"; it's just that I've always read about the-wake-up-scrambling-for-a-pen-bit happening to people, but, until then, it had never happened to me. Of course, it's as John Gardner says: "Originality is normally a quality achieved by diligence, not a natural condition." At the risk of sounding immodest, "Are you ready to love" sounds new to me.
